Hmm, very interesting, I made an analog change on my branch of paramiko.
What is your use case for this? I needed it to create an SSHClient connected via a channel of another SSHClient.
My change adds a "channel" parameter to the open method, but on second thought I like your approach better.
No idea why I did not think about splitting the method...
